Ferret90 Posted March 22, 2020 Author Share Posted March 22, 2020 Trying out a bit of lighting, using 12v dolls house stuff with a plug not a battery and a train set controller to dim the lights... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 looks good, but as you mentioned a bit worrying that they get hot with all the plastic around them is that normal, or could it be due to running through the tail transformer you mentioned maybe? to many amps through them poss .have to say the 99 p xmas ones i got don't, and are plenty bright enough, even the yellow light ones, managed to get another pack this xmas gone as well, down side is they run on 2 aa batteries, but i dont have power in the loft bar the lights anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordmajor Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 1.5 to 3v leds dont run hot . You can get them in various shades n very good value for money. [ bright components ] should cover all your needs. I use then for flashing warning lights on tractor cabs . powered by flat sell batteries from the £ shop 8 for a quid.

Ive found if I turn the voltage down a bit the don’t get nearly as hot as before they were heating the stuff around the bulb which is not a problem if they are hanging, but definitely a worry in the roof of the granary which is made of balsa wood I think I’ve sorted it though. The thing with batteries is that I would ever turn them on as it would mean replacing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I have a fair idea , I bought the lights in a kit with a 12v transformer but they forgot to put in an adaptor from the transformer to the lighting plugs so I thought I would rig up a train controller. The problem was that the controller lowered it by 4v even on maximum so the lights were really dim ( running 8 v). Then I put a 16v transformer on so it would actually be 12v powering the lights which is what they should be but like I say their just running a bit hot but on 10/11v they seem like be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stabliofarmer Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Love it Ted, creates a really nice atmosphere, and highlights the level of detail you have in the interiors. Particularly like way the plug socket is wired along the beams in granary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks James, I’m working on a thatched cottage which I haven’t started yet but I’m hoping to try and do the same stonework, bet I won’t be able to do it the same though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret90 Posted April 10, 2020 Author Share Posted April 10, 2020 Having a go at wrapped silage bales using foam pipe lagging, insulation tape and black bags and then spraying them satin/ gloss. Seen a few different ways of doing them but I’m quite pleased with how they’ve turned out. Got more to do but plenty of time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
